Feather # 30 — Spotted Towhee

“In this painting, I used delicate shades of brown and soft grays to capture the essence of a feather, intentionally leaving the edges undefined for a gentle touch. The subtle blending of watercolor creates an airy feel, while the soft spots add a playful texture and sense of whimsy. Each brushstroke was carefully layered, inviting viewers to imagine the feather catching a quiet breeze, suggesting the power of lightness and resilience in any journey.”  — Shayna, December 2022
